To keep it interesting the team over at Bioware have released some information on how they plan to make the classes in Swtor deeper with two specializations for each class, The only ones to be announced of this time are for the Sith Warrior these would include the Juggernaut and the Marauder. I will go into a bit more detail about these two advanced Sith Warrior classes later but for now I wanted to talk more about why they have allowed each class to have two skill trees and two advanced classes.

The most obvious reason of cause is that you can customize your character in Swtor to how you want to play it and all classes will have many different versions and abilities, Rather than just having the same skills as every other player that is playing your class you will be giving the chance to mix it up a bit and maybe surprise some people. Although you can only choose one of the two advanced classes for your character each advanced class has 3 sets of skills which you can play with to allow for more customization.

Two of these skill sets are totally unique to the advanced class that you have choose and the third set is known as a shared set, This third set basically allows you to improve on the skills from your core class which lets face it a lot of people will not bother doing since you have a limited number of points to spend on your class and can not get every skill that there is on offer. Knowing that you can not have every skill for your class and advanced class means that spending your points should be a process that is done after much thinking. At this time I am not sure if they plan to implement a class reset button, So you can reset all your skills and get a new set.

As I stated before the main reason for having so many skill sets is to allow players to customize their characters 100% to their play style it will also leave a lot open to trial and error since some combinations of skills for certain classes will either be great or shockingly bad.

From what has been announced the Sith Warrior has two advanced classes these include the Juggernaut and the Marauder. The Juggernaut is basically what it sounds like a tank capable of taking tons of damage while using support buffs to help benefit their group. They can even drain energy from their enemies to stay at full strength.

The Marauder is the complete opposite it would seem and are pretty much damage dealers that boast amazing DPS. The Marauder seems to have some skills that would normally be found on a rouge, these include targeting areas that do the most damage to their opponents like critical attacks.  What I do find interesting is that with all this attacking prowess they seem to have nothing in the way of defense, So I expect the Marauder to pretty much be a glass cannon but providing a friendly Sith Juggernaut is doing their job taking all the damage this should not be a issue for the Marauder.

We will keep you updated when we know more of advanced classes in Swtor, What can be said is that Bioware are going a long way to make the skill system excellent and to really allow players to customize their classes extactly to how they would like to play them.

You get your advanced class at level 10
